Got any advice?

I had a bad family.

I fell in love with GOD and followed Kenneth Copeland Conventions and Christian music days in Knotts Berry Farm.

I dedicated every second possible to him I was so in love and life was so great.

Then I went back home. My life went downhill and I ended up with the worst person of all.

My children and I deserve happiness.

Please does anyone have any biblical quotes or life experience or well any relevant advice?

Thanks.

Sorry to hear that things are rough. Stop following Kenneth Copeland, you only learn so much from him, you need more now (I used to read his magazine too). Please visit the site of James MacDonald, Walk In The Word with Dr. James MacDonald, and if you go to broadcast, you can listen to the daily sermons. They are really good! Very practical teaching, will help you to get your life on the right track.
Maybe a chat would be easier :) God bless you.

BunneyRey,Well my opinion is this: Get with a church that preaches TRUTH,and doesn't sugar-coat the Gospel-you need to hear ALL the word,not just the nice-nice stuff. Obviously this is my opinion,but I can direct you to others that will agree. yes you do deserve happiness,and only God will give it to you-don;t follow a church which only picks stuff from the bible to make your ego grow-you are not a baby-you need the meat of the word. If you want,send me a message and we can talk. Sis, Grow in christ,hear all of what the bible tells us,not just the tv evangelist stuff meant to stroke your ego. I DO NOT APOLOGIZE FOR OFFENDING ANYONE-GOd will help you on the right path if you pay attention to ALL of what He says........there is so much more there than you may hear on tv or in a mega-ministry-they get that big by playing to people's soft side(if you get me)........remember that the wide path.....destruction,the narrow path...... ..understand? good luck,sis withyour walk,love in Christ,Bill

Agree with you on Kenneth Copeland and James MacDonald. Copeland teaches alot of error. MacDonald is solid and will really help you.

Hi bunney,

As I always like to say, this is my PERSONAL opinion, leaving no room for argument since I do not say it's the absolute truth; the absolute truth being that God loves you. I do not know Kenneth Copeland nor do I know the Mcdonald? gentleman and I dont need to know them to have a close relationship with the Lord since the Lord is accesible to each individual without the need of other people. We all have the bible, we all have the privilege of prayer, and I think that's all we need to know the Lord more. I understand sometimes we need a word of encouragement or, in this case, a bit of advice, from other people so I'm not saying we should be all alone in this, but I think sometimes, because we feel desperate and the person says the right things, we tend to...put that person between God and ourselves. He becomes our interpreter of the Lord's will, he becomes our guide, he becomes our sheperd, leaving us far away from our one and only true Sheperd. Dont let other people get in between you and God. I think it was very wise of you to ask for biblical quotes to help you out in this situation. With that said, my personal favorite verse in sticky situations is the following statement God has told us:

Hebrews 13:5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you

God will never leave you. You have this situation right now where you wonder where happiness is, and God says He will never leave you. I think that's the first thing we need to know when a problem comes at us, because if we have the confidence that God will never leave us, we can face and solve the problem without wondering, "Why have you forgotten me, God?" I pray you have the patience to endure this situation by His side.

Something God has shown me is -- He is bigger than my circumstance. We all have problems, issues. Yes, more are severe than others -- some physical, some emotional, some spiritual. Paul in the Bible had it pretty bad -- but he came from a wealthy family and all was perfect -- or was it? He gave that all up to tell everyone about this Jesus that gave him an amazing life. A life where he was beat, stoned, put in prison, and exiled. And the Jesus He spoke of - well he gave his life up for us.

I only say all that to say this -- We need to earnestly be seeking that Jesus -- the one who suffered. He is the only one who will help u and give you the hope He promises. This life is falling apart and we are going to fall apart with it -- if we continue in our carnal ways --Romans 5.

We all have our own stories, but we need sound truth. I encourage you to read Ephesians and Phillipians. Before you read -- pray and open up to God, asking Him to search your heart and give you humility. Then pray for strength on the walk He takes you on -- You will need. Once the hurt of life comes crashing in -- cry out to him each time and open up to him the way you feel. Read Psalm 139 then Psalm 51 -- ask God to show you -- what He is saying to you then.

My life hasn't been cushy either -- but what I see is -- for me to die is for Him to gain. And honestly -- in the end -- making me more like God is better, but definitely the hardest road.

I am here for you if you need to talk.

When I was younger I knew a beautiful young girl who passed from leukemia. I will keep you in my prayers. May almighty God bless you and keep you, Nikkie.

broken

sometimes we make the same mistakes over and over due to our brokenness. Emotional trauma that we may experience when we are young can be very difficult to heal and can often be the cause. In women this sometimes comes out as what I call 'the-night-in-shinning-armor' syndrome. That is, some grab men, looking for them to be a knight in shinning armor, of which no man but Christ can be. This often comes out of broken father figures and the like. So, some women have a distorted view of what a husband should be for them and somehow expect husband to fill some of Christs roles in their own life. This is done because some women try to fill a fatherless void. Father wounds are huge. In my case, it comes out in multiple addictions.

In my experience things like this take significant amounts of time and hard work to heal. I have my own emotional wounds from a traumatic childhood. For whatever reason, God has not waved the magic wand and healed me. He does this for some people and he very well may do this for you. However, in the mean time you should have a sit-down with your pastor and get some counseling concerning your childhood and the decisions you make that maybe happening because of this. If your pastor cannot help you, perhaps he/she can get you in touch with a Christian counselor that your pastor believes is qualified and spiritually capable of helping you find healing. Understand I am not blaming your childhood or somehow giving an excuse, I am saying that if you can Identify the root, it can be of great assistance in correcting ugly repeated behaviors. Also, some wounds leave scars.If you are not already, get in the word, and try to develop a prayer life. This will help immensely.
